"One of the most attractive features of fluid mechanics is the beauty of the flows one encounters. Whether one is observing vortex streets, the potential flow around an airfoil or body, shock refraction or diffraction, or waves breaking on a beach the aesthetic appeal of fluid mechanics is impossible to deny.

       Because of this visual appeal of all things fluid, many people have generated Fluid Flow Galleries; this is my version of the genre. The approach here is to include images, pictures, and animations illustrating a wide variety of phenomena. I've also added explanations and discussions of the physics. This is in keeping with my general view that the pictures are not only pretty, but they are an excellent opportunity to learn something about the frequently invisible world of physics.

       To get started, just click on the general categories at the left, sit back and enjoy the ride."
